Last year, I decided to leave the small agency where I had worked for almost 6 years because, being a family-owned business, it was terrible for everybody (except for the bootlickers). The first few months were decent, having time to do almost anything, but then I started to feel miserable seeing how my bank account was getting close to empty and not receiving any calls from my job applications. Job searching has to be one of the worst experiences I have ever had, but my blog (alprado.com) was an incredibly therapeutic tool.
I think that it is kinda cool to convert your notes to a website, especially if you want to easily share them. I just created a Shortcut that sends my modified notes to an email address, and then I use Eleventy to build a website. Here is the result: https://albertoprado70.github.io/Mini/this-blog-uses-ios-not...
Whenever I export notes from Apple Notes it replaces the Markdown title marker `# Title goes here` with `*Title goes here *****` or something similar. Any notes on this?
I'm migrating my blog (https://alprado.com/) to a custom solution built with Laravel. I know the HN community appreciates simplicity, but in my opinion, hosting static HTML is almost as easy as hosting PHP. However, PHP gives you the flexibility to build an interactive and optimized CMS.
When I was younger, I used PowerPoint to create pseudo video games that nobody played, and I only did it because they brought me a lot of joy. Today, I do the same thing with blogging.
